A real Ranui install: Tom’s garage WiFi rescue
Tom lives in a converted garage at the back of a Ranui section. The fibre modem is in the main house, almost the entire length of the property away. By the time the WiFi signal made it to his desk, it was unusable for gaming and barely fast enough for a Zoom call. He’d tried mesh extenders. He’d tried moving the router. Nothing worked.
We ran one Cat6A cable from the main house through the subfloor to a wall-mounted jackpoint in the garage. Fluke-tested at 489 Mbps down / 460 Mbps up on Tom’s desktop. Same day. Photos, costs, and the 5 things every Ranui homeowner should check before hiring a cabling installer are all in the full case study.
What Ranui homes typically need

Why Ranui WiFi struggles (and the cheapest fix)
Two patterns we see constantly in Ranui:
1. Detached living spaces. Lots of Ranui sections have a garage, sleepout, or granny flat behind the main house. The fibre modem is in the main house, and WiFi gets crushed by the time it crosses two exterior walls plus open ground. A single Cat6 or Cat6A run from the main house solves it permanently — no mesh, no extender, no router upgrade required.
2. Older brick & lath-and-plaster walls. Some 1970s and 1980s Ranui homes have plaster-and-lath internal walls or double-brick exterior that absorb WiFi badly. The fix is a Cat6 cable to a wall-mounted access point in the room where WiFi is weakest — typically the back bedroom or the home office.

Ranui install FAQ
How much does Cat6 cabling cost in Ranui?
A standard 4-outlet Cat6 install in a single-storey Ranui home costs $480–$580 supplied, fitted, and Fluke-tested. A Cat6A run to a detached space (like Tom’s garage) is $560–$780 depending on the path between buildings. Same-day install is at the higher end of each range.
Do you service all of Ranui?
Yes — all Ranui postcodes and surrounding West Auckland suburbs (Massey, Henderson, Te Atatu, Sunnyvale, Glen Eden). Most installs are done same-day if booked before 11am.
What if I have a converted garage like Tom’s?
Detached-space WiFi is one of the most common Ranui jobs we do. We walk the property, plan the cable path under the main house and across to the detached building, and quote in writing within 24 hours. Cat6A is usually the right spec for these runs — it holds full speed across the distance. See Tom’s full case study above for photos and final speed test.
Will I really get 1 Gbps fibre speeds after a cable install?
Yes — we Fluke-test every install to certify it. Tom’s job tested at 489 Mbps down / 460 Mbps up on his desktop, which is right at his connection’s limit. The cable is rarely the bottleneck; it’s usually the wireless link or the fibre handoff that was holding speed back.
Do you also do CCTV and alarms in Ranui?
Yes — same crew, same fixed-price approach. 4-camera CCTV from $2,150, monitored burglar alarm from $1,290, or both bundled together with cabling for 15–25% savings vs separate jobs. See our Auckland burglar alarm pricing and CCTV installation pricing pages.
